FEATURE: Kill Rock Stars
Kill Rock Stars' Vice President Maggie Vail talks to us about how the label keep things going. "We release less records now, which I enjoy.  48 in 2006 versus 12 in
2007. This way I feel like we can do a better job focusing on each release
and band."

FEATURE: Shooter Jennings Hints At New Album
The son of legend Waylon Jennings (whom he portrayed in Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line), Shooter Jennings followed his father onto the country music charts. But a sharp stylistic detour is around the corner. We caught up with him as Warped Tour rolled through NJ, to chat about his forthcoming rock album, the art of busting up instruments, and just what he’s doing on the tour in the first place.

health care to discuss Candy Now, the new Dwarves album and his
aspirations of writing a musical.
